IMPROVEMENT IN EJECTOVRS.

. The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent a'd making part ofthe same.

To all lwhom itmay concern:

Be it known that I, GORGE W. GLAss, of New Brighton, in the county ofBeaver, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new anduseful Improvernent in Device for Ejecting Oil, Vater, 85o., from wells,ships, &c.; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full andexact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

'lhe natrrre of my inveution'consists in the combination and use ofpipes, as hereinafter'.` described, for forcing, blowing, or ejectingliquids from wells, ships, or' other places, by steam or air.

To' enable others skilled in the art to make and use rny invention, Iwill proceed 13o-describe its construction and operation.

In the accompanying drawingsa represents an ordinary steam-gener'atorforgenerating steam.

To this boiler is attached a pipe, b, the curve ou the lower end ofwhich enters within the funnel-shaped piece on the lower end of the pipee.

The pipes b and c ar'e arranged in the well e, with their lower endssunk below the surface of the oil or' water, as indicated by the dottedline f.

The pipes b and c may be secured in the well, or other place, in theposition desired, by airy known means, care being to have them arrangedsubstantially in the manner' represented in the accompanying drawings.

Then steam is used, the pipe b should be protected from the cold bycovering it with some suitable material, so that the condensation of thesteam will be prevented. f

\Vhen air is used instead of steam, then the upper end of the pipe b isattached to a 'suitable air-pump,

or other device, which may be used for forcing Y"fair down the pipe b.

v I wish it to be clearly understood, that I do not conne myself to anyparticular' kind, size, or form of pipes, or to any particular bend,shape, or form of the parts sunk below the surface ot' the oil or water;pr'ovided, however, that-in all cases, `the arrangement hereinrepresented, of the pipes, with relation to each other', must besubstantially the same.

It will readily be observed that the ordinary seedbags-used for closingthe mouth of the well, and for cutting ofi` currents of water from thewell, can readily be used in connection with the pipes b and c.

The operation of ury improvement is as follows:

Steam or air is forced down the pipe b, which will force the oil orwater up the pipe c and out at the end d.

Havingv thus described the nature, construction, and operation of myimprovement,

What I claim as of my invention, is

1. The combination ofthe pipes b and c, vso arranged .as to be used forthe purpose of forcing, blowing, or

ejectingliquids i'orn wells, ships, or other place, as herein describedand set forth.

' 2. The ejector', composed of the pipes b and c, the lower end of pipeb entering within the coniforrned mouth of the pipe c, substantially asherein described. 3. The construction and combination for immersing inoil or water, irr wells or other place, the lower end of pipes arrangedso that by the use of steam or air' forced down one pipe, liquids willbe forced up the other, substantially upon the principle as hereindescribed and set forth.
